Rio Hondo Fall 2019 ADN Program

Published

Hi !

I'm starting this thread to keep communication with other Rio Hondo nursing program applicants (Fall 2019). The deadline to submit a completed application is this Friday 3/8/19, anyone else out there applied yet?

The process actually wasn't all that bad. The deadline just was alot earlier than all other schools. I'm not sure if 40% is the minimum but even if it were I doubt that would be a competitive enough score to get in. I had an 80% on my teas. This year they didn't go by a point system, they said they did a full comprehensive review of all applicants. I think this worked in my favor because I have a bad transcript from like 5 years ago that brought my cumulative gpa from a 4.0 to a 2.9 so my points in that area wouldnt have been so high. . . but definitely apply! They accept 70ppl a year apposed to what most schools take (about 40) so your chances are a bit better. I wish you all the best ?

Thank you for the information! Did you apply to the basic BSN program or LVN-BSN at Cal State LA? I definitely will look into applying if I don't hear back from the other schools by this October.

I heard back April 4th but I got accepted to the BSN program. I would call admissions and check in with them since they already had an admissions day.

Hi! I applied for for their LVN-ADN program at MSMU and the deadline was April 1st. I'm hoping to hear back from them by June. Out of curiosity were you able to ask what the total cost was for the BSN program?

Congratulations on getting in at Rio Hondo!

Oh I see! I thought you applied to the traditional BSN program. I’d have to check my financial aid package but I believe it was 42k/year. I’d have to double check tho. Thank you!

That's what she told me when I called on Thursday! It's the blue fire safety card. She said that we just have to show it to her at the meeting this Friday and she'll cross our names off the list for the may 3rd meeting ?

Is this fire safety card a new thing at RHC? Is it required for other programs /classes? I graduated years ago with a Fire Technology degree but wondering what this class /card is and if I have a certificate that meets this requirement.

I applied to the BSN program. I believe if you have your LVN then it waves 1-2 classes that you'd have to take otherwise. At least that's how it is at CSULB so I assume it's the same at LA (not 100% sure tho).

I'm not entirely sure. I believe it's a certification card that healthcare professionals need to have before they work at any hospitals. So for us, it's required before we start clinicals. The card I have is blue and it's the one that expires in 4 years and she told me that's the one they are looking for.

I would just bring in what you have to the meeting on Friday and ask her if it meets their requirement!

Anyone on the waitlist make sure you attend tomorrow. I just received acceptance to my first choice and will not be continuing the process. My spot will be vacant tomorrow for the next waitlisted provisional student. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats to everyone who got accepted and to those who are waitlisted, don't give up! My class actually accepted a few alternates.

Good luck, and hope to meet you guys when we join cohorts in the Fall semester!

Current Rio Hondo student here, congratulations to those that have made it in!!! I was in your shoes not too long ago in fundamentals, and I'm sure I'll be seeing you guys in the Fall ?

I remember how helpful it was to have nursing students to give some tips and advice, so I'll leave my email here:

Lastly, I wish you all have a great and fantastic semester! Best of luck!!

Hi there. I saw that you said you live 1.5 miles from Golden west college but got into Rio Hondo. I live way closer to Rio Hondo but just dropped off my application for Golden west college. Was wondering what you think about the commute back and forth? What time do you finish in the day?I have a son so Im trying to figure out the schedule. Thanks
